A satirical pitch for a political trading card game like Magic: The Gathering, with cards for figures and policies that attack and defend across the political spectrum. The speaker suggests minting them as NFTs to make money, fully aware the whole thing is morally dubious and ridiculous.
Political trading card game. This is an idea I came up with in the newsletter the other day when I saw that Trump was releasing NFT trading cards. I was like, let's go all the way. Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh-like game, but for politics. Hear me out. Border wall defense card. Okay. Grants you immunity against liberal propaganda for 2 turns. But the negative effects is Melania doesn't give you handjobs and you're going to have bad press for 48 hours. We do this like No political swing. We've got cards for both sides. We've got attack cards. We've got defense cards. Biden drops out of the race and we spawn the demagogue. And again, I'm not saying this is like morally conscious idea, but what would go harder than a political trading card game? And then fuck it, we make it NFTs. Let's go all in. Obviously. Yeah, I love it.
